Cyber-Rights & Cyber-Liberties [UK] is a non-profit civil liberties organisation founded on January 10, 1997. Its main purpose is to promote free speech and privacy on the Internet and raise public awareness of these important issues. The Web pages have been online since July 1996. It should be noted that the organisation is not connected to the University of Leeds nor supported by the University of Leeds in anyway and all members of the organisation are acting in a purely personal capacity unless it is expressly stated otherwise.



Cyber-Rights & Cyber-Liberties [UK] covers such important issues as the regulation of child pornography on the Internet and UK Government’s encryption policy. The organisation provides up-to-date information related to free speech and privacy on the Internet. Cyber-Rights & Cyber-Liberties [UK] is a member of various action groups on the Internet and also a member of the Global Internet Liberty Campaign [see ] which has over 30 member organisations worldwide and advocates ‘allowing on line users to encrypt their communications and information without restriction.’
